Eastern Jungle Gym DIY Swing Set Hardware Kit with Easy 1-2-3 A-Frame Brackets, Swing Seats, Ring Trapeze Bar and All Assembly Hardware and Instructions - Wood Not Included

So i was planing to build a swing set and liked overall ratings for jungle jim products across the board. One of the the points for me was for sure saving some money when buying kit vs buying everything separately. However disappointment hitted right. after opening the box. 1) Frames are not fully painted inside in this kit. They are however if you buy brackets separately. If you planing to use pressure threaded lumber they should be painted to avoid corrosion. 2) Swing hangers are for sure heavy duty, however they dont have plastic washers AND had rust with crumbling paint out of the box. If you buy hangers of same brand separately they do have washers and i have not seen many reviews about rust if at all. 3) All hardware was zinc coated, which is not suitable for pressure threaded wood. If you buy brackets separately they do provide galvanized hardware which is good for PT lumber. Overall browsing reviews for other jungle gym products i saw similar reviews from year or two ago. Lots of recent reviews saying about better hardware and fully painted brackets. Looks like this kits probably were made a while back and do not have all the update manufacturer implemented recently. Overall very good brand. Returned this kit, however ordered everything separately as parts.

This kit was an excellent value and what a great way to cut the cost of a solid swing set at least by half!! You get everything that you need except for the lumber. Really simple to put together.

Brackets worked exactly as I hoped they would. Great quality and theyre very sturdy. The swings are great too!

Nice and easy set up. However I need to figure out something else with the bolts. Might have to drill completely through and use nuts and bolts. The screws/bolts that come with it keep coming loose. Not very happy with that. I know it’s probably too much. But I think instead of using a 4x6 they could have made the brackets to hold something a little bigger. Just for added stability. Watching my 12 year old daughter swing and watching the 4x6 twist as she’s swinging kind of nerve-racking

Look no more. I read review after review on Amazon and was reluctant to purchase this one because it didnt have many reviews. So glad I trusted my gut and purchased this one. My husband had it up in one hour with the help of our 11 year old. It is heavy duty and all three of my children ages 11, 10 and 7 are able to swing on it and it doesnt budge. He took the brackets to the hardware store and was out with the correct wood beams in minutes. There were no instructions but anyone with a little building knowledge can figure it out. We had a Rainbow Cedar swingset playhouse at our old house and was looking for something similar but much smaller to fit in our new smaller yard - this was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I am thrilled with this purchase and would recommend it to our friends.

Had every thing you need for a swing set. I routed (1/2 round over bit) and sanded all the beams before assembly. The 4x4s had ample room to go into bracket. Not so much for the 4x6, took some pounding. I used a 12 footer for the 4x6 and 10 footers for the uprights to have more space between swings and to have longer swing. At first I was scared that my wife and I couldnt lift it into place, but we had no problem when it came to lifting it.

I cannot say enough about this kit. It resembles commerical grade sets. It was easy to assemble and was up in no time. We used 4x4x8s and 4x4x12, no problem with putting the wood into the brackets. The grandkids (I have 5) absolutely LOVE it. It is very sturdy.

Turned out great! Had our handyman put it together and he said it was pretty easy to assemble once you get the lumber you need. Very sturdy and kids love it! Strong enough for adults to swing! Love that the chain has a coating to prevent rust and not get hot for little hands in the summer. Materials are good quality. Totally worth buying it this way...saved about $300 to do it this way vs. buying from local hardware stores.

BUYER BEWARE!!!! You will need to spend more. The hardware that came with it would have been good if it would have all come. Missing hardware!!! Missing 16 lag bolts and washers. Missing the additional 8 needed for the in ground stakes. Even more importantly missing the hardware to actually hang swings to the swing set. For $260 and change one would expect it all to be there, as described ( all lag screws no through bolts as described) I spent another $63.00 for the hardware that was missing. What a disappointment. The two brackets for the 4x4 legs and 4x6 beam look and seem adequate. That being said and after the added expense, it went together relatively easy (heavy work) and looks good. I used a 4x6x12 so I can add a saucer swing to the far end and 4x4x10 so it will sit higher. Took a little over 3 1/2 hours total. Suggestions. Use a carpenters square and drill the holes smaller that instructions tell you, to ensure maximum bite from screws into the wood. I don’t imagine the company with reimburse me for the missing hardware, and I’m not sending it back. Next I’d choose just the brackets and price it all together myself and would prob save close to $100.00 or more plus added cost.

I bought this swing set for my daughter since her old metal one was starting to fall apart. I originally was looking at fancier units but she said all she wanted was some swings and a trapeze so she could hang off of it. This kit caught my eye because it looked pretty beefy. Anyway, the kit arrived and I was not disappointed. The brackets are beefy and especially the hinges. They look like something off of a commercial grade swing set. I went with treated lumber and the total cost was around $80 for all the pieces of wood. Assembly took about 2 hours and I did it by myself (NOTE: Im a fairly tall and somewhat well built person and struggled a little so 2 people would make this go a lot smoother when inserting the legs into the top beam.) My advice, assemble the top beam with the brackets and hinges first inside a garage, or on the bed of a pickup truck as I did, then move it into place and assemble the legs. For drilling the bolt holes I just used a small framing square to make sure the bit went in straight. The only gripe I have is that I wish the vinyl/rubber coating on the trapeze chains didnt go up so high. I have it on the closest chain link to the coating and it is still too low to the ground for my daughter. Ill try cutting it away so I can raise it higher. In the end, this was well worth the money.
